boarding question

[Galina]

I too have built specialised boarding ships.The biggest advantage Ifeel is that these can be small and cheap,Destroyer size.However I have found that the only way to use them efficiently is to fight in tactical mode.Otherwise they die.I also use shield destroying ships in conjunction with these.I have found Battlecruisers to be a good size.Both these types operate just behind the main line of battle and use their superior speed to perform the capture operation when appropriate.I don't think this degree of finesse is possible in strategic combat.
